For those
who love to be part as a spectator at a professional golf tournament, there is
no better place to than the European Sr. Tour and especially the finals where
everything comes together. On top of that no better place than on the Legend
Course of Constance Hotels, as mentioned before a narrow and challenging course
in a fantastic climate and ambience. Here you get to see the legends of
professional golf who still are very active, experienced and are able to
perform at the peak of stress. Most of them are also very approachable and even
make the spectators’ part of the tournament, this gives
you almost a family kind of feeling, very different, very nice!

Last
December 2014, the finals were again extremely exciting up to the last moment.
David Frost was initially together with Paul Wesselingh heading for the trophy
and were teamed in the final round, but the Englishman Barry Lane was catching
up very fast. Due to a few errors Paul Wesslingh made in the final holes he
came equal to Barry Lane and ended up in a very long play-off, actually it
equalled the longest play-off in the history of the European Sr. Tour done in
2008, it took them 6 holes to play before finally the winner was known, again
Paul Wesslingh.

Paul
Wesslingh is a very friendly professional golfer, a teaching club pro by
profession until he wanted to fulfil his dream to play the European Sr. Tour.
He managed to get a playing card for 2012, became in his first year Rookie of
the Year, in 2013 next to winning the MCB Tour Championship in Mauritius he got
the John Jacobs Trophy by winning four times and topping the Order or Merit,
again in 2014 he managed to impress by ending 6th in the Order of Merit.

Another golf
legend of the European Sr. Tour, Colin Montgomery started the tournament with a
quote that he will win the MCB Tour Championship this time and will play a
serious game. Unfortunately for the 8-times European Tour Order of Merit winner
and 2010 European Ryder Cup Captain could deliver. He had to acknowledge he
didn't feel well and felt tired on the last two days. He did have an
extraordinary season by winning important tournaments collecting enough prize
money to still go home with a trophy, the John Jacobs Trophy as he topped the
Order of Merit for 2014!

You can
only understand the warmth, emotions and excitement when you have personally
witnessed a tournament like the MCB Tour Championship and can recommend every
golf lover, even if you are not following the different golf tours in the
world, just experience this yourself, you go home a happy golfer!
